      Current experience is reminiscent of reporting to a boss if they were an 828er from Manifest.

      Pros

      Remote work. Pension. 401k. Company promotes work like balance. Great PTO accrual.

      Cons

      Managers of people to direct report ratio overwhelming on both accounts. No time available to promote growth or development in team or personally. Working 60 to 70 hours a week to meet daily expectations, with end result pushing you to do more. Company promotes PTO and caring for mental health, being told we need to limit PTO, and push mandatory OT. If someone is out for 1 day they need to make up 4 hours, 2 days, 3 hours and so on. Being asked why the team is carrying a high PTO balance, they need to take time off. It is important. Teams are burnt out, exhausted and beat down. Employee's are inquiring about FMLA being told to not offer it as a resource as we have too many cases under current leadership. If someone is out on protected leave manager tells you that you didn't do your job. Zero relationship with direct boss. Zero growth opportunity in 1:1s. Show up with notepad and pencil prepared to make notes for the next hour of what projects they have due by end of week that you need to complete on their behalf...or else...

      This is the 3rd year in a row that Premera has done major layoffs. This time, I was a casualty. This place puts up a good front. Decent mission statement, etc. But when it comes time to actually put their money where their mouth is, they fail. This company does NOT care about its employees. They take away all support staff until those left are stretched thin trying to cover all the work and then finally they get rid of you too. Also, you'd think a health insurance could give better medical benefits to its employees.

      Pros

      Nice campus, clean restrooms, exercise programs and they will pay for some education. 401k and mostly nice coworkers. Health insurance benefits are just ok.

      Cons

      Top heavy, constant reorganizations. They talk agile but are dinosaurs. Contractors are replacing full timers. Contractors also brought in as project managers who don't know anything. Constant management turnover, lost knowledge, delays. There is a culture of fear due to the layoffs.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Over the last 18 months, Premera has seen several reorganizations across the company as we work to align ourselves with our customer and purpose. With that structure largely in place, Premera is poised with amazing people to tackle the road ahead. We'd like to clarify that the article you reference regarding Glassdoor was not in an effort to solicit good ratings, but to ask Premera employees to share their experiences. We appreciate the time you have taken to share your perspective and want to thank you for your support.
